This is why fencing (e.g. HDFS lease recovery) is super-important for us. A client could presumably continue to try to write to a RS who has gone haywire. Doesn't a SCP trigger log splitting (and therefore recoverLease) which would handle this case? ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
